Wendy has the sniffles

Oh dear, no training this week because I have the sniffles. That is a really good excuse... right??

Poor Wendy!!

Josie and I have been meeting with our wonderful school community this week to share the message about underprivileged girls and the importance of an education in enabling them to change their world. It has been so wonderful to get so much support and we are really looking forward to speaking with the kids. I think it is really important that this journey is not just about money, and if we can make one kid want to do something in the future to change the world then that is awesome. So thank you GGS!

Then in an interesting development, Hugh has suggested that I should do the ride in full evening dress. The feedback I have been getting is that people would pay to see that!! I am just trying to decide if this is actually a compliment! I am thinking maybe not... but as you know, I always like an excuse to frock up... so watch this space!

Anyhoo, he was sharing this with his basketball coach who suggested that she would pay money (a lot) to see me do it with training wheels!! Again, not entirely sure this is actually a compliment, but has lead to a raft of other ridiculous possibilities. Let me write a list, because you know how I like a list:

1. training wheels - well not original, but it important to be thorough
2. clickety-clacks - not sure what they are called, but do you remember the plastic things you could put on your spokes to make noise as you ride - I always thought they were really cheerful
3. basket - with flowers I am thinking, because you can never have too much storage
4. handle bar streamers - because everything looks better with streamers especially if they are sparkly
5. one of those really long flags on the back which bend when you go under a tree - I don't know why but frankly I always wanted one
6. oh dear, only 5 items... not much of a list really. You may have noticed that I always like 10 things in my lists... please me dear friends give me 5 additional items so my list can be whole!

So I am not sure any of this is practical (in fact I think we can be fairly sure none of it is at all practical) but it is food for thought!!

BTW I now have 3 donations so thank you to my wonderful friends and hooray for me!!
